The OP says that capturing "will usually result in even more parts obtained", but isn't that actually not the case? Carving gives (usually) 3 parts, and capturing gives 2 parts, with a 69% chance to get 3 instead, but from a different pool?

Mortimer posted:capturing usually gives higher chance at rare drops Well sure, depending on the loot pool thats often the case, but I think the OP should be a bit more clear about that, mentioning rarer parts, rather than more parts. Also, speaking of kill vs capture and rare drops and all that, I am an ignoramus when it comes to probability, when going for a rare item, is it better to decide on quest and on kill vs. capture based on expected value, or on probability of least one?

Rascyc posted:Anyone who cares about that sort of thing is probably already using the loot tables and is way beyond who the OP serves probably I'm pointing it out because about a year ago when 4U came out, i was the sort of person who cared about that sort of thing, coming off of more casual 3U play, and saw the Kiranico loot tables, but didn't yet know enough to be sure how to interpret them (or where to find info on how capturing works) and myself incorrectly believed for quite a while that capturing led to more parts obtained. I think information in the OP doesn't have to be specific but it shouldn't be false.

Emalde posted:That 69% chance to get a third item continues rolling multiple times until you "fail" the roll, it generally averages out to more parts in general over time. I've read otherwise, that capture expert/master/god (at least in 4u) changed the amount of rolls but otherwise it wasn't a cascading roll. Are you sure they roll over several times? I'm not asking just to be contrarian or anything, I really would like more knowledge on this and am now unsure myself. https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/2yvwqs/capturing_when_and_why_you_should_do_it/cpdge7s Here is where I've seen contradicting info.

Emalde posted:It definitely used to, this may have changed for 4th gen specifically so I'll edit the OP a bit for it. Cool, a shift in the formula would definitely explain why there's so many different accounts of the drop system. I still intend to go back to MHFU sometime (and check out frontier as well) so the fact that it's different in the older games is useful news to me, thanks!

Bananasaurus Rex posted:Actually, I'm now looking into capturing vs killing. So you get three guaranteed carves from killing. Versus two guaranteed rewards from capturing and a chance for a third (22/32 chance). I find this stuff super interesting and am glad you are posting it, and that math looks accurate as far as I can tell. It's a bit of a simplification, but would it be correct to say that, at low percentage levels (say, sub 5%) whichever has a higher percent on its loot table even by one is the correct option, with a tie going to carve, assuming no armor skills? And also holy poo poo, thank you for simplifying down the capture odds to 1-x^2.6875, I feel stupid for not thinking about that (but am awful at statistics.)

Bananasaurus Rex posted:Far as I can tell, the odds are near identical when it's 9% for carving compared to 10% for capping. 10% and above carving wins out. But by then the item isn't really considered "rare" anymore. This is a good and useful post.

Countblanc posted:I'll pass that along, thanks. Maybe it'll make him give the weapon a second chance - The increased hunt time probably comes from this being his first HBG rodeo and the Aerial one likely makes monsters significantly easier if you don't know the fights/weapon. I'm a first time gunner going aerial as well, and I'm using a LBG rather than an HBG, but in my LR experience it is just that while using aerial, you have a lot of leeway when it comes to dodging and reloading and all sorts of things that do indeed make the monsters easier even if you can't get as great a read on them. If you're low on ammo or if you're caught to close to the monster, or both, you can vault off and away from it, and you have until midair to decide if you want to shoot, smack and reload, or just continue to run away. One big example is if a monster is doing a bunch of tailswipes, vaulting over them let's you avoid the tailswipes while ALSO damaging them while ALSO staying mobile so that you're not stuck in recoil at a bad time. A player more intimate with the monster's moveset might just be able to use a charged greatsword or hammer to stronger effect there, but it feels like a very "safe" option. It's certainly fun, though.

Is there any rhyme or reason to how the new canteen/bistro system works? In 3 and 4u, it was based off your combination of food types, ie Meat+Meat or Fish+Bread, but here it feels more arbitrary what with a given dish having multiple sauces, but some of the sauces have the same name but different effects, and with you picking out dishes made from ingredient combinations rather than mixes of ingredients themselves. There are plenty of guides on how to obtain the ingredients, but not on what the ingredients actually do.

Speaking of Dualblades, I ask this every game and keep forgetting. What are the mechanical functions of demon and arch-demon mode? Are they just moveset changes, or do they give damage buffs as well? Does Demon "stack" with Archdemon? Is Demon mode with a flashing meter any different than demon mode without a flashing meter?

Rascyc posted:Demon mode gives you a 15% raw damage boost, changes your move set to the Demon moveset (faster moves, usually more combos, demons dash, etc) and drains stamina. Beating things up in demon charges the arch demon gauge. Thanks, I suspected it worked this way, but I wasn't entirely sure. It's funny that ARCHdemon mode isn't as powerful as demon mode, but so it goes. That said, assuming you have a mega dash juice or whatever, is there any reason at all to leave demon mode for archdemon mode?

^ A quick correction since he's asking about 4U, in 4U you obtain scraps by playing a minigame called Meownster Hunters. It'll unlock as part of the main story, I think at late 4-stars?

You'll also get way less mounts in Generations unless you go aerial style, so that's something else to consider. 4U is way more generous with them.

I really love the gameplay of stop-to-use items, and am in fact losing sleep over this. Not that I'm arguing that it's reasonable. Edit: This is by the team that made the best games in the series, so in all honesty, I'm sure they know what they're doing. I'm just rattled over MHXX is all.
